That first flashback scene of Ayo and Bucky in Wakanda clearly shows that there is a very definite connection between those two and I’m really sad and upset that Bucky and Ayo fell out.
I honestly think Bucky should have coordinated this whole thing (freeing Zemo, that is) with Wakanda. Given everything those people did for him, it was the least he could do. And he didn’t. The guy murdered their king, their beloved leader and Bucky didn’t even give them a heads up that he was going to free him (even if only for a time and as a means to an end).
Maybe he had his reasons we don’t know about. Sure he knew Wakandans would know about the prison break literally seconds after Zemo was gone and would quickly track them. Stil, it’s a matter of trust and respect.
Ayo had every right to chastise Bucky. And she even gave him eight hours before she and Dora Milaje came for Zemo.
Now as for Ayo removing Bucky’s arm… That scene was upsetting as hell, but I think Ayo felt really betrayed by Bucky. As already stated, Marvel made a point of showing that Ayo and Bucky were important to each other (her being the one to finally “test” him, witnesing one of the most important moments of Bucky’s life, being so clearly happy for him) and then Bucky had to go and fck all that trust up. I mean, Ayo clearly still trusts Bucky (otherwise she wouldn’t give him time, wouldn’t speak to him even), but she also feels vulnerable and betrayed. Perhaps her removing Bucky’s arm was her way of making Bucky understand her emotions - the vulnerability, the betrayal. I wonder what she said to him in that scene, when she called him James.
Whatever happens in this show, I dearly hope Bucky makes it up to Ayo and they recover their relationship.
Consider: years ago, Okoye is on a mission outside Wakanda, and a young Black Widow agent crosses her path. She’s heard of the Red Room, is disgusted by it and its mockery of service to country. A nation that must turn its little girls into soulless dolls to ensure their loyalty is a nation that has nothing worth fighting for.
This particular doll isn’t directly interfering with her mission, and it’s not worth her time to kill a broken white girl that isn’t threatening Wakandan interests. But she thinks it never hurts to send a reminder to the Red Room: stay in your lane. Okoye leaves the girl roughed up and bound, but as she walks away, she knows there’s power in another message too, so she says, “where I come from, we choose who we will be.”
The agent has heard of the Dora Milaje, has been warned to avoid contact. She never expected to survive an encounter. As baffled as she is to still be breathing, she pushes the woman’s strange words to the back of her mind, escapes her bounds, and turns her focus on completing her mission and the consequences if she doesn’t. But a seed is planted, and when an archer spares her life and a man with an eye-patch holds out his hand to her, Natalia Romanova finds herself ready to make a choice about who she will be.
Attempted to recreate the moment from the Falcon and the Winter Soldier where Ayo tests to see if Bucky is finally free of his Winter Soldier programming
Did a Falcon and the Winter Soldier Bucky shoot around Central London, what do you think?
just gonna say it, episode 4 is the best one yet and the dora effortlessly beating john walker up has a lot to do with that
